Pros

Move super fast (although at the cost of slight loss in quality), team is supportive and friendly, free lunch and snacks, excellent coffee, office is very nice.

Cons

The company is going IPO soon and they’re doing all sorts of stuff to try and appease investors. There are random layoffs. Good engineers are leaving or have already left. Now is not a good time to join. There’s also rampant favoritism on the engineering team. Some people get a lot more PTO approvals whilst others are expected to not take more than a few weeks on a calendar year.

Staff engineers will go behind your back and snitch on you to your manager instead of giving direct feedback. There is also 4 days wfo.
